The Development And Writing Of A Children's Story To Promote An Awareness Of Deaf Culture And American Sign Language, Blaine J. Taylor
The Development And Writing Of A Children's Story To Promote An Awareness Of Deaf Culture And American Sign Language, Blaine J. Taylor
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Many advocates of the deaf fear that a whole generation of deaf children will be lost emotionally. socially. and educationally. This fear stems from the fact that many children who are deaf are not having their linguistic. sociocultural. and communicative needs met at home or at school (King, 1993). Their needs are not met primarily for three reasons. First. the hearing culture is often inaccessible to them because they do not understand most of the spoken language around them. When children lack the communicative abilities to interact with the hearing culture. they can not be expected to be knowledgeable of …

The Fourth Amendment: History And Development Of The Reasonable Search, Bradley L. Tilt
The Fourth Amendment: History And Development Of The Reasonable Search, Bradley L. Tilt
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
The existence of the search and seizure restrictions encoded in the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution is the result of a two part historical development that took place simultaneously in England and the American colonies. Severe legislative restrictions on the press were largely responsible for the developments in England, while in the colonies it was British tax and trade regulations that spawned the changes. On both sides of the Atlantic, however, the primary catalyst was the government's use of general searches in the enforcement of those laws. It was the continued abuse of general searches despite the public's …
Pubertal Development, Parent-Teen Communication, And Sexual Values As Predictors Of Adolescent Sexual Intentions And Sexually Related Behaviors, Cynthia R. Christopherson
Pubertal Development, Parent-Teen Communication, And Sexual Values As Predictors Of Adolescent Sexual Intentions And Sexually Related Behaviors, Cynthia R. Christopherson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Adolescent sexual intercourse can be viewed as a normal developmental experience, but intercourse also is linked to unplanned pregnancies, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Consequently, there continues to be a high level of scientific interest in understanding antecedents of adolescent sexual behavior, especially early and more risky sexual intercourse. This study examined several key antecedents of adolescent sexual intentions and behavior, including pubertal development (pubertal status, change over time, and pubertal timing), parent/teen communication, and teen sexual values. Analyses were based on longitudinal data collected in 1991, 1992, and 1993 from parents and teens during …
The Impact Of Legalized Casino Gambling On Regional Economic Development: The Case Of Atlantic City, Neil Evan Walkoff
The Impact Of Legalized Casino Gambling On Regional Economic Development: The Case Of Atlantic City, Neil Evan Walkoff
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
In 1976, Atlantic City was facing a situation whereby, as the city was experiencing economic decline, casino gambling became an option that could help the city become revitalized. Even though many questions accompanied this option, Atlantic City did pass a referendum to legalize casino gambling; This thesis illustrates both the benefits and costs that come from casino gambling. By using a hypothetical city as our model, we can explain the impact that casino gambling has on a city. After developing assumptions from our hypothetical model, we can compare these to the actual evidence of the results in Atlantic City; It …
The Role Of Affective Information In The Sociomoral Development Of Preschool Children, Noelle Susanna Wiersma
The Role Of Affective Information In The Sociomoral Development Of Preschool Children, Noelle Susanna Wiersma
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Early theories of social-cognitive development emphasized children's unilateral respect for rules and authority (Piaget, 1932/65). Recently, however, children have been found to make conceptual distinctions among moral, conventional, and personal events. These distinctions are hypothesized to be related to the differential judgments that 6- to 8-year-old children have been shown to make about the emotional experience of others in these types of events (Arsenio & Ford, 1985). However, it is not known if preschoolers make similar distinctions between the affect of various participants in different event-types. The judgments of preschoolers regarding the affect of participants in sociomoral events were examined. …
Development Of A Gis-Based Routing Model, Xinnong Yang
Development Of A Gis-Based Routing Model, Xinnong Yang
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Route optimization models deal with multi-criteria or multi-objective optimization problems. The basic objectives of routing problems include transport cost and risk affects. An improved model presented in this thesis addresses a new optimization model, "Range Optimization Model". Although the core of the route optimization tools adopted is still the conventional "Shortest Path Algorithm", the definition of route optimization functions and the means to employ "Shortest Path Algorithm" are different from conventional procedures; Geographic Information Systems (GIS), have been widely used as a spatial database management system and a geographical analysis tool in a variety of fields related to study of …
The Metabolic Rate Of Xenopus Laevis: Interactional Influences Of Development And Short Term Hypoxia, Dulynn Hastings
The Metabolic Rate Of Xenopus Laevis: Interactional Influences Of Development And Short Term Hypoxia, Dulynn Hastings
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Amphibians undergo pronounced physiological and morphological adjustments during metamorphosis, due in large part to the change from water breathing to predominantly air breathing. A developmental change in the ability of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems to transport oxygen or a change in tissue demand for oxygen may be reflected in the aerobic metabolic rate (MO{dollar}\sb2{dollar}). This study focuses on how MO{dollar}\sb2{dollar} of the South African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is affected by short term hypoxia during development. MO{dollar}\sb2{dollar} of animals from Nieuwkoop and Faber stages 1-66, 1 month post-metamorphic froglets, and adult frogs were measured under conditions of normoxia and …
An Investigation Of Methodologies For Software Development Prototyping, Susan M. Jones
An Investigation Of Methodologies For Software Development Prototyping, Susan M. Jones
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
The computer industry has a poor record of system development using the traditional life-cycle approach. The main cause of user dissatisfaction is the unacceptably large amount of time between specification and delivery of a system. In addition, users have limited opportunity to influence how the system will look when implemented once development has commenced. With the advent of 4GLs, system development using a prototyping approach has become a viable option. This has reduced the development tlme significantly and, together with the use of prototyping, has allowed users to become more involved in the development process. However, this change in the …
